I've thanked Pugsy privately, but this is a great opportunity to thank her publicly. She is an invaluable resource to this forum!

<--- adding a big "Cheers and Amen!!" to what's already been said in gratitude to Pugsy for what she does on this forum. Pugsy is absolutely one of the best at patiently helping people work out CPAP therapy issues.

Last Friday, I posted a few months worth of efficacy data. An hour later I received her detailed explanation. After reading the explanation, I understood what changes to make and why to make them. I've also slept better since then.

Thank you, Pugsy.

As a newbe I would like to add my name to the list.......It is people like Pugsy and others who make a board like this not just good, but fabulous!!! I now have a much different outlook on my therapy and trying to work things out for myself than I did before coming here!!

Thank you Pugsy!....and to all who really care.....

Your sympathy comes through nicely in your tone, though. You do well with that, IMO. I, likewise, appreciate the example you set in how you use this forum.

Many, many Thanks to Pugsy. She has helped me with so many questions, as she has helped so many others! And she helps us in such a logical way that is easy to understand. It would have taken me a lot longer to get used to the therapy without her. And, by the way Pugsy, I finally learned how to keep the back door closed in my mouth!!

I'm a little late to the party but I'd like to add that my circumstances as the caregiver for my husband's therapy and his recent illnesses creates a somewhat complicated situation for me. Pugsy has been there for me on some of my darkest days and has relieved my anxiety more than she'll ever know. The same can be said for Rested Gal, she knows what she means to me. And I must mention Wulfman(Den) who's somewhat retired now from the forum. He was my first mentor and I would have given up quickly if not for him. I've received support from so many good people, it would be hard to list them all. We're a big family and Pugsy has now become our matriarch!
